malicious program or a 10.9.5 OSX system library folder?

There is Adware on a 2009 27 "iMac still under OSX 10.9.5 (for the 3rd party compatibility for example Adobe CS6 software suite).

I followed the threads re. removal (thanks Linc Davis) and the problem does not come back.

To the date of departure of the Ad problems, there was a file in the Macintosh HD/library with a red dot (unopenable) 'uschiwakin', this folder is not present on the own iMac, is this a legitimate system file? Now held in the "basket", just in case.

I tried the TotalVirus site but it could not analyze the case, I also remove dit8.tgz in private/var/tmp /... After the reboot, etc. EtreCheck always gave an alert and I need to follow this.

Would appreciate any advice on 'unschiwarkin', because it doesn't show up on search engines. malware.

No, it's not legitimate system folder. It is probably part of the adware,

And do you mean, 'TotalVirus","VirusTotal "?

    Silverfox salvation,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    Leave your post, it seems that you have found an error, a "monitor" program has been found running on your system - please unload the memory on your computer screen.

    Quick questions:

    1. When exactly the error? Is - this random?
    2. Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    You can try the following hotfixes and check if that helps get rid of the pop up.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.

    Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.

    Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    Put the computer to boot and check if the problem persists.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the KB article provided above.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    It will be useful.

    Get back with the result of the steps suggested also if you need help on Windows let us know and we will be happy to help you.

    Once the software is installed, it will not be removed under normal circumstances.

    I do not know if your computer is still infected and it is removed or the problem is that you can't 'see' photoshop' but it is always installed.

    to verify this, check the installation directory and check its size on your hard drive.

    Hi Keith,

    You won't be able to re - install using the discs and the number of series that you used initially, but we have a solution.

    The activation for more server CS2 is no longer in service. For this reason, we did a version of these titles of software available that doesn't require activation. This is for users who already buy the software.  For more details and specific links for the software, please see the following link:

    Activation server stops for Creative Suite 2 and Acrobat 7 product Macromedia

    Instead of your old serial number, use the one shown next to the download link: download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

    Help, please.
    Thank you

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of. I realized that malwarebytes is on the list, but try others. If push comes to shove, you may be forced to be:
    At littera Do this first) UNINSTALL FIREFOX WARNING: THIS WILL REMOVE ALL OF YOUR FIREFOX INFORMATION! IT CAN BE HIDDEN IN YOUR FIREFOX DATA TROJAN HORSE AS SOME VIRUSES TARGET SPECIFIC BROWSERS!

    (B) remove your computer to a specialist. They will know what to do, because this seems to be a malware problem, not a problem of Firefox.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  • Where can I report Zero-day and other malicious programs to improve Web Security Appliance filters?

    When scanning actively vulnerabilities on our network we meet sometimes emerging or other malware exploits that connect to the command and control on the Internet servers. Where can I report a URL command and control servers to Cisco to improve the Web Security Appliance for the entire community of Cisco?

    Currently, we use only the black list feature in the WSA.

    It would be more useful that these C & C sites have been blocked by the signatures of Cisco.

    The Security Center, a self-service portal, offers a new option to check the reputation of URL, and/or submit URLs for review. All the presentations via the portal are usually reviewed within 24 hours.

    • Go to https://securityhub.cisco.com (authentication required)
    • Click on requests for URL reputation > Lookup or submit URLs
    • Enter the URL in the box provided (one per line)
    • Select Web Cloud security > Lookup > This will show you the current reputation for each URL (by example, if neutral is he not be blocked)
    • From there, you can submit the URL (s) for review by suggesting a different type (e.g. malicious if you think he should be blocked)

    I hope this helps.

  • After having recently updated windows, some programs no longer work. In addition, System Restore does not work.

    After having recently updated windows, some programs no longer work.  Also, when I went to do a system restore, that he would not allow me to restore to an earlier date.  Among the programs that no longer work are VLC Media player, ieploxer, f.lux.  Even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled they would not load correctly.  I would get the splash screen for the program, but noting else.  When I am gone in Windows Task Manager the program would not appear in Applications, but there are processes running.  And an interesting thing, the exe afficheraient use of the 72K memory.  Still, even for different programs.

    What can I do?

    Start the command prompt, and then type

    Hello

    This afternoon, I tried to install the home group. When I did, I got a message that windows could set up homegroup for this pc. (I'm not sure if this is relevant, but it's the last thing I did with windows before my problems started).
    -At the moment when I try to go to c:\, I get an access denied message.
    -When I go on c:\Users\Patrick then it shows my files and the directory.
    -When I opened a word from this directory document, it works (so I have read access).
    -I can't make a new folder in my home directory.
    -When I start for the mmc instance get Windows cannot access... 0x800704b3 error code after diagnose I get an error that convenience store could not start error code 0 x 80070005. (it happens with all windows utilities.
    -When I start safe mode it restarts after a few seconds (after he show users)
    -When I try to activate the account administrator to the command prompt it says access denied.
    -When I try to access the settings with the UAC, it does not.
    -When I start a normal program (like VS2008) it starts up, when I do as an administrator I get the same error that when im from the mmc.
